Friday Caption Competition

Well, it’s that time of year again - a whole bunch of people in France will be getting very excited about going cycling together. The press will find some drug stories to pedal out (sorry - bad pun), and despite the super-hero efforts of the many, their reputations will be dragged through the road...

I’ve never been to Glastonbury for The Festival - Wife doesn’t really ‘do’ camping, unless it involves the inside of a five star hotel. And that’s all the excuse I need. Anyway. Glastonbury in case you didn’t know, is a haunt of hippies, drop-outs, and the disaffected of the counter culture. In short, the sort of...

This week we return to National Cycle Network Route 1, and its interesting feature just south of Ashington that I encountered on Monday: Basically a first-rate bike path ends abruptly, forcing you to take a really annoying series of mile wide zig-zags to continue the journey South. The more foolhardy get lost in the woods...

Advertising copywriters get paid good money, and can take their pick of lovers. Or so I’d like to imagine - you’ve only got to look at Don Draper in Mad Men to get the picture I have in my mind. Anyway. Here’s your chance to enter this elite cadre. In this week’s Caption Contest, you have...

I came across this photo earlier in the week. Unfortunately I can’t remember whose blog if it was on. So if it was on yours, you deserve some credit - post a comment below so I can fix this! ANYWAY . . . the photo is from basictheory’s Flickr photostream, and was taken at or...
